Hair by Nikki Shears

Hair by Nikki Shears is based inside Wolf & Sparrow Salon at 5115 Jackson Dr. in La Mesa. The studio serves clients from La Mesa, Grossmont, Fletcher Hills, Lake Murray and the wider East County area of San Diego, and the business says many of its clients travel in from across the greater San Diego region for color and texture work.

The business describes itself as crafting individual styles since 2010. Its haircare is presented as luxury haircare tailored to each client, with the aim of natural-looking results that suit a person's hair texture, daily life and hair health over time.

Color is the core of the menu. Services include dimensional color, blonding, balayage and corrective color, and the studio also offers custom color and cuts. Curly-hair cutting is a named specialty, and Cezanne Keratin Smoothing Treatments are available for clients who want smoother hair. Hairstyles for weddings and other special occasions are offered as well.

Booking is done through GlossGenius. For bookings between $50 and $4,000, clients can use Buy Now, Pay Later, subject to approval before the appointment. The website also publishes a refund policy and terms and conditions.

Each client works with the stylist on a color plan, a maintenance schedule and at-home care guidance, with the goal of results that fit the client's texture, lifestyle and long-term hair health.
